I'm 3 episodes behind at the moment, but I've been really enjoying this season too. I think a B+ would be a fair and accurate grade if you factor in that the show's base identity creates a particular scale (basically, this show isn't meant to be Mad Men or Fargo and should be graded at its ability to do what it sets out to do). I think it's been a ton of fun. I like that they have committed to an identity which was really my biggest problem with season 1. It was basically trying to be 3 or 4 shows all at once and it was often a complete mess, and I think they chose the correct identity to commit to. I like it when you can have the feeling that they reviewed the previous season and really decided where their strengths are and ran with them (and thus away from their failures). They have really picked a lane and they are succeeding. I like it.

I am a casual Batman fan, started watching it because a friend who is mega Batman fan loved it. Thinking it would only have Batman nostalgia and fan-boying to run it's engine i wasn't expecting too much, then it suddenly turned into one of my favorite shows.

My favorite thing about this show - IT GETS THE FUCKING LOOK RIGHT. Gotham looks fantastic and dirty and smokey and it's always raining (seriously, look at the streets, always wet.) The lighting is dramatic and dark and sets the cold gothic mood of the show. If shows like Doctor Who could be dressed and lit like this one, I would enjoy them a hell of a lot more.

I always got a sense that show show had an extra ounce of class, but I could never figure out why, then I noticed Bruno Heller was the executive producer and does a lot of the writing for the show as well - Heller was the show runner of HBO's "Rome" of my top 10 favorite shows easily.

This season is defiantly the strongest now that the things that were dragging it down like Jada Pinkett are gone. The slow maturation of Bruce has been expertly done. The small hints of the Batman he will grow into one day are done just often and subtly enough to make it not feel overwrought.

And the Joker, I want to shake the shows hand and slap it right in face for the Joker. What an amazing build up through the three seasons, hinting at many possible would-be Jokers. Technically I guess you could argue this wasn't the actual Joker (but yeah, it was the Joker). And just when I was at the height of my enjoyment of him, then took him away. I think it was an incredibly smart move on the show's part. Felt like that was their way of saying, this is not the Joker show, we will give him to you, but were not going to become a slave to the fanboys...sorry. Good move, even though, yeah, I could have a 100 more episodes of him.

Well that's great for all of you but I noped out of this show 3 episodes ago. Just got too ridiculous and I feel the acting is just so over the top that I could't take it any more. Too much better television on right now. Glad all of you like it though. Cheers

I still don't think it's a very good show. I've watched every episode, but very reluctantly since the middle of this half-season. I think the Barbara stuff has been pretty stupid, and I think there is an unappealing level of violence and evil on this show. Bruce Wayne drives me nuts at how desperate and gullible he comes off.

The only thing that kept me watching was to get closure (likely temporary) on the Galavan story line. I will probably not continue watching this show.

I do agree that the show got a little better over the past few episodes, but I don't think it's enough.

I like it. One of the few networks shows I watch. I just rewatched last season's finale in preparation for the premiere.

It has problems, but for a network show I think it's pretty good. Also, I am not a big comics purist so I don't care about the canon. I did hear, however, that Gotham doesn't have the rights to use/say/portray Batman? Is that true?

I guess they want to keep that "property" for major films. Too bad. I'd love to see what the young guy who plays Bruce would do with it. I think he's quite a fine actor. I also like Alfred.

I havent watched the premiere but S2 was a big improvement. Might have to do with Chikilis and James Frain(who I both love) coming aboard. Batman Villians are my favorite of all the comic book stuff so I love seeing origins of Villians, some better than others.

Season 2 was such an improvement over season 1, I hope we can continue the fun in season 3. This kid that plays Bruce is great, I honestly think he's one of the best Bruce Wayne's on film. The first episode was alright but I still can't shake how this show will eventually fit into regular Batman canon. I mean Batman babies is cool but why would Gordon ever get back together with Barbara and start that family?

Haven't read anything in here past the first couple because I don't want to be spoiled too much ...

My husband and I are a little ways into season 2 and it's pretty good. I had told himI was going to watch through season 1 with him and then I was done. Then they found the remote that opened the fucking fireplace and we started season two immediately LOL. NOT a fan of fish moody anymore - I enjoyed her in the beginning - I'm glad her days are numbered. The kid is awesome; as is Alfred! Jim Gordon is good but I really love Harvey. He's great!!

Season 2 was decent and it survived my "marvel/dc type cull of shows" which included Agent Carter and Agents of Shield. The casting has been strong right down to the children and I'm enjoying it even more after realising quite quickly to not watch this as though it's faithful to the canon of Batman, just watch and enjoy it for the TV show it is

And @akritenbrink given her temperament, Fish Moody could have been an even better name for Jada
